"Is that a spiritual weapon?" Ronnie looked at the sword carefully and was overjoyed. "This is a rather high-grade spiritual weapon. The one I'm holding is only first-grade. Yours is probably eighth-grade or ninth-grade, I believe?"Ronnie became increasingly jealous as he looked at the sword in Severin's hand. "This is perfect! Your sword will be mine after you die! This is a rather welcome surprise. You may have other treasures on you too, and I can't wait to get all of them once you're dead."Severin merely smiled coldly when he saw Ronnie's excited expression. "Hehe, keep dreaming! Will you even be alive to take this from me?"He then injected more spiritual energy into the sword and immediately swung it in front of Ronnie. "Rose-Petal Rain!" Severin yelled. A bunch of rose petals immediately appeared, and each of them was about the size of a palm. There were as many as a hundred of those rose petals floating in front of him."What a beautiful technique." Lillie's eyes lit up
When the light dissipated, Ronnie discovered that his giant tiger was completely destroyed and turned into dust. "How is that possible?!"Only ten of Severin's petals were used on the tiger, and the rest continued to float forward as they headed straight for him."This is bad!" The petals were clearly some distance away, but they appeared in front of him within seconds. It was almost like an illusion. They brought a sense of confusion to anyone in Ronnie's position, and the speed at which they traveled through the air was incredibly fast.By the time he turned to flee after realizing that something was amiss, he discovered that it was already too late for him to go anywhere. The petals surrounded him like a swarm of locusts, sealing off all avenues of escape."Sorry, but you've been surrounded! Hehe!" Severin chuckled and was very satisfied with the strength of that technique.Judging from his trial run, he would have had no issues facing several people if he used that technique.
"He won! Hooray!" Lillie and the others were still feeling a little shocked, and it was almost like a dream to her.They could not believe their eyes after witnessing Severin kill a level seven warrior emperor with such ease. Judging from the number of rose petals earlier, they felt that he could have easily handled seven or eight people with the same attainment level as the intruder."Awesome! Our governor won!" The other bodyguards jumped up for joy too. They had finally understood just how strong their employer was."You're too strong, sir! Too strong! You're amazing!" Wendy said excitedly. "The battle that you had with the guy is very insightful, and it will help us a lot in our future training. We're very lucky to have witnessed a battle between two strong men!"Severin smiled wryly. "Don't just stand there and praise me. Round up some bodyguards to clean up the mess!"After giving them some instructions, he walked over to the crowd and said, "Don't be scared. His attainment
Severin smiled and said, "Don't worry. If we've already searched the South County thoroughly, we can always start a new search in the other counties. If we still can't find them anywhere in the Skystream Province, then we can move on to the Skydra Province and other provinces too. I trust that there will be some information about those halls even if they had been wiped out."After saying that, he went on to his main order of business. "I came to you today to give each of you two pills. It should be enough to raise your attainment quite significantly, and you'll probably be able to make a breakthrough to level seven or level eight warrior king.""No way! Will we really have such a huge breakthrough?" Rachel's mouth opened wide and she wondered if she had misheard him. She was a level five warrior king, and she could not have been able to make a breakthrough to level eight even If she had a second-grade medium-rank pill. She had the highest attainment among the five people there, and s
Severin allowed the hall masters to leave once he was done giving them instructions. After they left, he returned to his room, took out Ronnie's spatial ring, and began to check its contents.A glance inside the ring left him with much to rejoice. Apart from a first-grade spiritual weapon known as the Fish-Gut Sword, there were dozens of spiritual herbs contained within. Those spiritual herbs were either second-grade high-rank or third-grade low-rank, and many of them were suitable for alchemical purposes.He then perused the technique manuals within and concluded that there was no point in learning any of them. The techniques were not very strong, and it would be very troublesome if he used techniques and ended up being recognized by the Stormy Moon Sect.In the end, he casually picked up an old yellowed book in the corner and read through it. He did not think much of it at first, but he was somewhat overjoyed after giving it a more careful read. To his surprise, the book contained
"What's this? Is it a book?"Diane took the somewhat yellowed ancient book, opened it, and looked at it. "Phoenix Derivation Method? Sun-grade high-rank exercises?!" Her pupils dilated, and a look of excitement soon appeared on her face."Wow! This is amazing, honey!" she exclaimed. I didn't think this would be a technique manual, much less a Sun-grade high-rank one. Wendy and the others told me that techniques are divided into four different grades of Soil, Sky, Sun, and Star. Ordinary unaffiliated practitioners generally train with Soil-grade methods, while some of the more powerful families can use Sky-grade methods. Sky-grade methods and techniques are even rarer, and the only people who are lucky enough to have them are usually sect leaders. Star-grade methods are the rarest of them all, and very few people have the privilege of laying eyes on them!"Diane then paused for a moment and asked Severin, "Isn't this a very precious technique? Where did you get it?"Severin smiled.
At that moment, Sheila called her father Zachariah beside the nearby rockery.As soon as Zachariah answered the phone, he could not resist saying to her, "Took you long enough to call me, Sheila. How are things there? Have you returned from Skystream City?"Sheila nodded. "We've been back for several days now, and we met a lot of important people there too."Zachariah cleared his throat. "None of that's important! Let's just get straight to the point." Zachariah said. He then said to her, "How are you getting along with Severin? Please don't tell me that you didn't make any progress even after you were there for so long."His question left Sheila feeling a wave of joy, and she answered excitedly, "I'm calling you because I wanted to talk to you about this. Severin finally accepted me, and I'll be his woman from now on. Even Selene calls me Mommy Sheila now!""Really?" it had been days since he last heard any updates from Sheila, and Zachariah did not put his hopes too high on her
The next morning, Severin set off for Wymount City alone because he felt that it would be too troublesome to bring too many people with him.He soon arrived at Wymount Airport and disembarked from the plane with a smile.Wymount City was considered to be a relatively prosperous city in the West County, and although it was not as prosperous as South Link City, they had prospered at about the same level as each other."Ugh! Aren't the bodyguards supposed to be picking me up right about now? Why aren't they here yet?" A woman complained after looking all around her. She was tall, fashionably dressed, and wore shades.At that moment, a black Audi parked beside her, and a few men in suits came down to greet her. "We're here to pick you up, Miss Chelsea. Hop on in.""Are you supposed to be my family's bodyguards? Why haven't I seen any of you before? I thought Yancy was the one who was going to pick me up?" there was a bit of suspicion in Chelsea's expression because she had never seen an
At that instant, Infernatur and Damnatur felt a sudden chill, as if an impending doom loomed on the horizon.Severin then said softly to them, "I'm gonna need you as a helping hand!"Infernatur and Damnatur recoiled as a horrifying realization dawned upon them."Have you taken that leap?" Infernatur's voice trembled with uncertainty.Severin remained silent and simply waved his hand gently. The 129,600 cosmic laws surged with boundless power, reducing the huge figures of Infernatur and Damnatur to dust.Within moments, two essences of pure primordial power flowed into Severin's inner world, while the desolate chaos sea crumbled and was consumed by his voracious appetite.Severin's form eventually began to fade until it became a flicker of light that vanished completely. His consciousness had been devoured entirely.Everything before him was empty and devoid of substance.An indefinite amount of time passed before Severin's voice echoed through the emptiness, "Chaos springs from
With a deft stroke of the bronze halberd, the path hovering above Severin shattered."This is a peculiar weapon," Severin recoiled in alarm, raising the Oculus Blade to defend himself "It has the ability to dismantle the great path!"Simultaneously, he utilized his space-time path to shield against potential assaults, especially any sneak attacks.Explosions reverberated, unleashing torrents of elemental energy and spatial turbulence throughout the chaotic sea. Time passed indeterminately amidst the chaos.For centuries, the trio engaged in combat, their auras undiminished by time's passage.Meanwhile, the four Dominus Nosters in the Celestial Realm waged war against the extraterrestrial intruders, reclaiming territories with unparalleled ferocity.Under the leadership of figures like Callide, the extraterrestrials were simply no match for them.The Southern, Western, and Devil Regions were reclaimed quickly, yet everyone from the Celestial Realm remained vigilant, for war conti
Outside the Heaven Palace, the few who had been appointed Dominus Noster along with a cohort of quasi-royal celestials were faced with the grim reality at hand.Clad in resplendent hues, Callide—who was their leader and carried the title Dominus Noster Arcanum—donned celestial attire woven from stars and the galaxy. With a regal bearing, she commanded from atop a cloud, "Follow me, my brethren! We shall vanquish the extraterrestrials in the Devil Realm!""At your command, Dominus Noster Arcanum!""Yes, Dominus Noster Arcanum!"With their resounding battle cries, streams of light surged across the Nine Heavens Ten Lands, converging upon the territories occupied by the extraterrestrials—they were the Devil Region, Southern Region, and the Western Region.Amidst the vibrant rainbow, a towering figure emerged, blotting out the sky and earth. Everyone recognized that figure as Severin, and knew that the battle against the quasi-celestial regents would soon begin.Adrian, who was alrea
Armin then spoke with a calm authority, "You cannot remain in this time and space, for you are from the future. It is time you return."As he uttered these words, Severin sensed an invisible force pushing against him and urging him to depart.Standing upon the river of time, he overlooked the tumult of the quasi-celestial regent conflict looming below. He mumbled Armin's counsel, "By receiving nourishment, shattering constraints, tearing open chaos, and reaching the other side…" As Severin pondered over those revelations for an indefinite amount of time, clarity dawned upon him like the sudden rising sun. "So that's the way!"By the time he snapped to his senses, he discovered that his primal spirit had traversed countless epochs in the river of time. "Did I spend that long in the river of time?" he asked himself. Fortunately, the duration he spent in the river of time was but a fleeting moment in the real world.Severin's resolve solidified. Though his brief discourse with Armin,
Severin could sense the mental connection between himself and the weapon, almost as if it was an extension of himself. Severin then raised his gaze to the celestial expanse beyond."I'm almost on Armin's level now that I've made a breakthrough to the rank of quasi-celestial sovereign. However, facing the extraterrestrials' quasi-celestial regents isn't going to be easy meat for me," he mused aloud.Armin was once the sovereign architect of the Imperial Court and the ruler of the Celestial Realm, yet even he found himself at the mercy of the attack of Heaven's Will. Even a mighty quasi-celestial sovereign was reduced to naught but dust.Severin felt the weight of the responsibility settle upon him. Confronting the two quasi-celestial regents would require him to transcend to the realm of celestial sovereign—a realm of which he had scant knowledge of.He understood the concept of the celestial sovereign only in the context of attaining liberation through enlightenment via the 3,000 p
In the vast expanse of the chaotic sea, occasional gusts of strong wind whipped up the formidable chaotic energy. A single whirlpool could claim the life of even a true immortal.Amidst that tumult, two colossal figures lay prone within the abyss. They emanated an aura of unparalleled power, commanding even the paths to heed their authority. The turbid breath exhaled in their slumber had the capacity to tear the fabric of the chaotic void, unveiling dreamlike cosmic chiliocosms.They were the progenitors of the extraterrestrial race, the alpha and omega of the enigmatic beings. Their names were Infernatur and Damnatur. To the uninitiated, and sometimes even to their own kind, it was widely believed that Infernatur and Damnatur were distinct entities. However, they were but facets of the same being.Infernatur could be deemed the primordial offspring of chaos itself, having borne witness to the most primitive and barbaric epochs of the Bleu Celestial Realm. Being born of chaos, he po
Heaven Palace could now boast four royal celestials, along with nearly 20 quasi-royal celestials and 5,000 true immortals. Those esteemed individuals once served the Longevity Alliance, Clear Wind Sect, Tri Celestial Island, and Ingeni Paradise. While their numbers paled in comparison to the 120,000 true immortals during the ancient Imperial Court's heyday, Severin was confident that he could revive that with time. After all, the new Imperial Court had only just been re-established, and there was still more work to do.Severin then addressed the assembly, "As you continue raising your attainment, you shall have to anticipate the looming threat of conflict with the extraterrestrials. Now that you have are bestowed with titles as the custodians of heaven and earth, it is our solemn duty to reciprocate the blessings bestowed upon us.""Yes, we shall!" echoed the resolute affirmation from the gathered immortals.Having concluded his address, Severin went to speak briefly with Diane and
In the Heaven Palace, Callide sensed that the aura emanating from Severin was simultaneously as vast the sky and ocean but as indiscernible as that of a mortal. Tremors of terror gripped her, as she knew that he had far surpassed the realm of a cultivator who had attained the perfect-stage royal celestial. It was no exaggeration to say that Severin could obliterate a royal celestial with a mere thought.Balke, Libra, and Creatia shared Callide's apprehension. To them, Severin embodied the very essence of the path—intangible, silent, abstruse, incomprehensible, and undetectable.As the imperial robe adorned Severin, Balke and the others bowed in reverence. "Long live the Celestial Sovereign!" they chanted in unison.A subtle wave of fortune floated toward the heavenly heart imprint as Severin acknowledged their worship with a satisfied smile. He raised his hand and lifted them effortlessly with an unseen force.With a thunderous voice that resonated in their ears, Severin proclaimed
The true immortals, quasi-royal celestials, and even the eminent royal celestials held their breath. Everyone observed in silence as Severin wielded the heavenly heart imprint.With each strand of luck infused into the heavenly heart imprint, Severin sensed his dominion over the Bleu Celestial Realm becoming stronger. He had the feeling that he could reshape the world with only a single thought.Once the destinies of tens of thousands of races were bound with the heavenly heart imprint, the golden tourmaline quivered violently and radiated an aura that could be felt across the Nine Heavens Ten Lands. Acknowledging the momentous occasion, Severin tapped his forehead and directed a fragment of his soul to command the heavenly heart imprint. The 3,000 great paths within him erupted from his being and materialized."Today shall be the day that I, Severin, rebuild the Imperial Court in the Nine Heavens! As wielder of the great path, the world shall be inscribed in me, and I shall embody
